g,reo Years ON SKINNED Milk.

Louis IIcrbst, who lives between Front
and Second streets, Camden, and who =
one of the best known Germans in South
Jersey, celebrated last week lis third an
niversary Of o skinned milk diet. Mr..
IIerbst is a large, iinely-formed MAJ of
about 80 years of age, and weighs about
two hundred pounds. Three years ago he
was afflicted with dyspepsia and kidney
troubles and was advised by his physician
to try n Diet Of skinned milk exclusively.
He tried the remedy for acouple ofmonths
and was so benefited by the diet that he
determined to try it for n year. AT the eX-
piration of the latter period Mr.. IIerbst's
health was almost perfect. Far from be-
coming thin or emaciated from tho long
continued use OF skinned milk, his form
was, if possible, oven more rotlnd than
before, and by the advice Of his doctor he
decided to adopt skinned milk as his ex-
elusive diet permanently. For three years
he has eaten or drank absolutely nothing
bat the article named-not even water
and declares to his friends that he proposes
to continue skinned milk, and dispense
with steaks, bread and butter and beer for
the rest Of his life.

The pcrnieious effects of the hashy
weekly story papers and lurid novels was
strikingly illustrated in the ease OF Tommy
and Ella Mayhem, aged respectively eleven
and nine years, who ran away from their
home nj Clayton last week. The whole
town was aroused over their disappearance,
and searching parties uith lights secured
the woods and country for miles around.
On the morning OF the day after they had
disappeared, Waterman Packer. at the
Woodbury. station, noticed two children, 4
